Once you are inside Chronica — your dashboard, a campaign, or this guidebook — the same bar sits across the top of every page.

On the left is the Chronica logo, which takes you home. On the right:

• Dice — opens the dice roller. See 1.3.1.
• Help — a menu holding Guidebook (this book), Help / FAQ, Feature Request, Bug Report and Contact Us.
• Your username and picture — a menu holding User Dashboard, Account Settings, Invites & Referrals and Log Out.

Before you sign in, the same bar shows Log In and Join in place of your name.

On a narrow screen, Dice and Help shrink to icons and your username drops away, leaving your picture.

The Charter mark

If you joined Chronica in its first days, a laurel wreath and the word Charter appear in orange beside the logo. It marks you as a Charter Member — a thank-you for being here early. (This icon may be hidden on smaller, mobile screens, but if you're a Charter Member it will still apply!)

The top bar navigation, once logged into Chronica

Click Dice in the top bar to open the dice roller. It opens in a window over whatever page you are on, so you can roll without losing your place, and closes again when you are done.

It covers d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20 and d100. You can set how many of each die to roll, and add or subtract a modifier from the result — so several dice and a modifier in one go, not just one die at a time.

Results build up in a list inside the window, which gives you a running log for as long as the window is open. Reset All clears it.

The roller is available on every page inside Chronica, including when you are logged out on the Log In page. It is not on the public pages such as Join or Pricing.

Dice modal window

Feature Request, under the Help menu, opens a short form where you can tell us what you would like Chronica to do. It opens in a new tab, on the service we use to collect requests.

Please send one idea per request. It makes them far easier to compare, and to come back to later when we are deciding what to build next.

Requests are read by the Chronica team. We cannot promise a reply to each one, and we cannot promise a date for anything, but they shape what gets built — a good deal of what is in Chronica now started as a member's request.

Bug Report, under the Help menu, is for anything in Chronica that is not working as it should. It opens in a new tab, on the service we use to collect reports.

Three things make a report much easier to act on:

• What you were doing — the page you were on and what you clicked.
• What you expected, and what happened instead.
• Whether it happens every time, or happened once.

A screenshot helps more than anything else, especially for something that looks wrong on screen. If you saw an error message, copying its wording exactly is worth more than describing it.
